TaniDVR is a CLI tool for managing and capturing video from Linux-based OEM surveillance DVRs which use DVR-IP protocol (p: 37777/TCP). It has been tested with Intelbras DVRs and is expected to work with brands such as DVR365, Q-See, GWave and other.

TvARP is a program created for automated recording and playback for small local TV stations. Specifically for local stations that have a low budget and can't afford a commercial automation system.
I have not had time to finish this software. If you are interested in using it please let me know. Currently it is designed for use with the SIMA-VS502 video switch, and I am using it in our local TV Station. There are changes that need to be made to the source code to be able to use it elsewhere. I am considering moving to using the ATEM switchers for playback in HD.

This software writes short movies with your digital DSLR camera Canon (R) directly to computer. The camera must have LiveView feature to work, like in Canon EOS 450D for example. The Program has preview, Av, Tv and WB control.
